Summary
The board approved a Forest County Section 3 Plan, a Section 504 & Transition Plan, and Resolution #8 of 2024 affirming fair housing protections under Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968.
At the Oct. 2 meeting, Forest County commissioners unanimously approved a Section 3 Plan intended to direct employment and economic opportunities generated by certain HUD financial assistance to low- and very-low‑income persons. The board also approved a Section 504 & Transition Plan, which the minutes describe as a policy to ensure that individuals with disabilities are not excluded from participation in federally assisted programs.
Commissioner Kline then moved to approve Resolution #8 of 2024, a Fair Housing Resolution that notifies residents that discrimination in housing transactions because of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, familial status or handicap is prohibited by Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Each motion was seconded and recorded as carried unanimously in the minutes.
